The daughter of the Howard County Sheriff was killed and another driver was injured Monday night in a head-on crash north of Kokomo, Indiana State Police said.

Jordan Asher, 21, Kokomo, died after her 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix collided with a 2004 Jeep Cherokee about 10:30 p.m. on U.S 35 near County Road North 80 West, Indiana State Police Sgt. Tony Slocum said.

Asher is the daughter of Howard County Sheriff Jerry Asher, Slocum said.

Rescuers extricated Jennifer Eastwood, 48, Logansport, from the Jeep. A medical helicopter took her to an Indianapolis hospital, Slocum said. Her condition was not available.

In a statement, the Howard County Sheriff's Department asked the media to respect the Asher family's privacy as they grieve.

"The Howard County Sheriff’s Office has experienced numerous tragedies over recent years," Captain Jordan J. Buckley said. "One thing remains consistent and that’s the unwavering support of the community in times of mourning."
